INSTAllATION<br />

SOGEC installs or supervises the installation of any cathodic protection systems<br />

in any part of the Arabian Gulf Countries.<br />

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING<br />

Upon the completion of the installation of the cathodic protection systems,<br />

SOGEC engineers test and commission the CP System, adjust the output current<br />

and voltage to achieve the required level of protection for the structure.<br />

MONITORING OF THE SYSTEMS<br />

SOGEC offers a monitoring procedure to maintain control of the protection<br />

system with regular inspection so that continuous protection is ensured and<br />

maintained.<br />

AC INTERFERENCE & MITIGATION<br />

SOGEC represents in Saudi Arabia ARK Engineering & Technical Services Inc.<br />

which is a leading company for the AC Interference & Mitigation.<br />

CIPS & DCVG SURVEY<br />

The Close Interval Potential Survey (CIPS) and Direct Current Voltage Gradient<br />

(DCVG) Survey are two techniques that work together using the pipeline’s<br />

Cathodic Protection System to evaluate its protective efficiency and its coating<br />

conditions.<br />

PWHT<br />

PWHT is an abbreviation for Post weld Heat Treatment. It is carried out<br />

by electrical resistant method or by (furnace firing or internal firing) with<br />

high velocity fuel burners. There are three main benefits, stress relaxation,<br />

tempering and hydrogen removal. The first two benefits are the generally<br />

the reason for the heating operation, with hydrogen removal being<br />

considered as a bonus.<br />

PRE-HEATING<br />

Thermal stresses are set up as a molten weld cools. Cracking can<br />

occur during and after welding. Pre Heating reduces the temperature<br />

differentials between the weld metal and the parent metal, thus minimizing<br />

the tendency to crack.<br />

NORMAlIZING<br />

Normalizing / Annealing heat treatment is to improve the mechanical<br />

properties of steel; tensile strength and impact value are improved leading<br />

to better resistance to brittle fracture.<br />

For instance, with mild steel, the temperature would be approximately<br />

900ºC (1650F) that is 50ºC above the upper critical point.<br />
